This family domain has a total of 15.50 hectares of vineyards, including 10 hectares of Grand Cru in the municipalities of Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay. Furthermore, 2 hectares planted with Pinot Meunier in the 1er Cru Vrigny and 3.25 hectares in Trigny from which the cuvée Les Prémisses is made.

The vines are on average 40 years old and the vineyards are naturally cultivated. The means to combat diseases are of biological origin.

All blends are based on 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Only the 1er Cru, Les Vignes de Vrigny is 100% Pinot Meunier. The Prémisses is a blend with equal parts of the 3 different grape varieties. All cuvées are dosed at 2 grams per liter and the wines are vinified in oak barrels. They then undergo maturation 'sur lattes' for a minimum of 36 months to 72 months for the cuvée V.P. and 84 months for the millésimé.

The style of Egly-Ouriet Champagnes is vinous, mineral and intense with a complex dry long aftertaste.
